YouTube Bodycam Footage Researcher — Long-Term Work

YouTube Bodycam Footage Researcher — Long-Term Work I'm looking for a researcher to help find interesting police bodycam cases for a YouTube channel. The goal is to find cases with strong storytelling potential, good footage, and an interesting outcome. PAY $30 per completed and approved case. Please only apply if you are comfortable with the $30 rate. If $30 per case isn't enough for you, please don't apply. WHAT YOU'LL DO Find interesting police/bodycam cases Locate the available bodycam or other relevant footage Research the police agency and basic case details Find out how the footage can be obtained if it isn't publicly available Check whether the footage is actually useful for a video Provide a short summary of why the case would make a good video Provide the source/link and any relevant public-records information WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR We're interested in cases involving things like: Unusual traffic stops Theft/shoplifting Scams and fraud Domestic incidents Hotel or airport incidents Police confrontations Unusual arrests Cases with unexpected twists or discoveries Quality is more important than quantity. We don't want random bodycam videos. We want cases where something interesting actually happens and the footage captures it. You do not need to submit a large number of cases. Finding one excellent case is more valuable than finding several bad ones. PAID TEST The first job we do together will be a paid test. If the work is good and meets our expectations, we'll continue working with you on more cases. IMPORTANT Do not spend any money on public-records requests without approval. TO APPLY Please answer: Have you researched bodycam footage before? Have you worked with public-records requests before? What sources do you normally use to find police/bodycam footage? Give one example of a bodycam case you think would make a great YouTube video and explain why. Please don't send a generic application. I'm looking for someone who has good research skills and can recognize an interesting story.
